It's a Bear! No, It's a Dog..?

Newfoundland dogs are huge. They are typically black, white with black, or very rarely, a deep brown. Though personally I have never seen a brown Newfoundland dog. However, the traditional Newfoundland dog is black. They have long fur that protects them from the cold ocean waters surrounding Newfoundland. This is why they were used to save sailors from drowning in the harbour.

Newfoundland dogs that are part of families with small childeren have been known to "save" the childeren from drowning in pools by taking the kids out of the water. The dog doesn't know you're just having fun because its instincts are telling it that it has to save you.

Newfoundland dogs are very master orianted. They have one master and are very loyal. These dogs are not typically aggresive. Keep in mind that a dog's behaviour is a reflection of its training. Because Newfoundland dogs are so big, it is highly recomended that you start training as soon as you can. They're already really big puppies!

Now if you ever choose to get a Newfoundland dog, or choose to visit Newfoundland, you'll have a better idea of what to look for, and what it is you might encounter.

Until next time me duckies!
